at OA the exanllnor Friday May 1979 off the recur ENCORI Vladimir Horowitz The latest Vladimir Horowitz album is collection of favorite encores that provide whirl wind tour of eight composers including Liszt Chopin Scriabin Scarlatti and Debussy Horowitz plays with his usual brilliance and precise technique throughout Horowitz Encores Even the familiar works included on the album Chopins Waltz in Sharp Minor and Scarlattis Sonata in are given fresh and stylish performances The album is an excellent in troduction both to Horowitz and t0 the piano styles of the com posers represented The Liszt rhapsody the final one written by the composer is display piece for the pianists virtuoso technique The Debussy work Serenade Doll from Childrens Corner is delicately simple lullaby The Rachmaninoff prelude and the Scribin etude are sen sitive melancholy works given sympathetic readings by Horowitz Whether by design or accident most of the pieces on the album display the quieter more introspective moods of the composers Horowitz excels at the rhythmic excitement of Chopin polonaise but hes just as skilled at evoking quieter mood The album is superb collection of music that differs stylistically but explores similar moods And Horowitz has never sounded better Stephen Gauer Vladimir Horowitz Horowitz Encores CBS Masterworks Paul Horn The bad news about the latest Paul Horn album is that the Vancouver Islandbased flautist is being promoted as jazz fusion musician the good news is that his music doesnt suffer as result of the slick fu sion arrangements Horn is lyrical introspec tive musician his best solos 0n the album are dreamy ex plorations of soaring melodies His solos arent overshadowed by Lalo Shifrins ar rangements which feature the usual percussion horn and rhythm guitar patterns of the fusion style Horn seems to ig nore the insistent beat of his fellow players in order to purlt sue his own style of music which has always drawn on spiritual almost Eastern ap proach to jazz He plays well enough that you can ignore the intrusions of the rhythm sec tion The album is well balanced with range of slow medium tempo and upbeat compositions by Schifrin Undercurrents is soft and dreamy Witch Doctor is light and breezy Dream Machine is fast and fluid But the best moments on the album occur in the final tune The Jug gler when Horn is ac companied only by bassist and drummer For few moments Horn is playing straight jazz showing off his sensitive style to good effect Horn doesnt need studio full of musicians to make good album tune like The Jug gler proves that basic rhythm section is the only accompani ment he needs Paul Horn Dream Machine Mushroom Records Chet Atkins Once upon time Shel Siverstein suggested to Chet Atkins the veteran RCA pro ducer and guitarist that he form guitar quartet and record an album Atkins decid ed it was good idea The result is The First Nashville Guitar Quartet potpouri of folk country and classical music performed by some very fine guitarists Featured in the quartet are Atkins Liona Boyd the Cana dian classical guitarist and two American guitarists John Pell and John Knowles In dividually all four are ac complished guitarists as quartet they make excellent ensemble players The album is filled with bright happy music thats bound to raise spirits on gloomy day The arrangements are rarely exciting but each choice of music is broad enough to ensure that at least few of the tunes will appeal to the listener Who but Chet Atkins would include guitar arrangements of Danny Boy You Needed Me Skirts of Mexico Someday My Prince Will Come and Bach fugue on one record The up tempo country tunes like Carolina Shout Bound For Boston and Love Song of Pepe Sanchez offer some snappy melodies and fast ensemble playing Washington Post March is breezy march tune that sounds completely at home on the guitar And the arrange ment of the first movement of the Rodrigo Concerto makes good use of haunting melody line creating delicate mood that contrasts well with the ROWHZ 4W€Al7l2l IN SSH other selections on the album SG Chet Atkins The First Nashville Guitar Quartet RCA Shirley Bassey Shirley Bassey ranks somewhere just below Cleo Laine as one of the top female vocal stylists working in pop music today she lacks the jazz technique that makes Laine so versatile and so spellbinding but she can pack enough emotion into song to make comparisons irrelevent The Magic Is You her new album makes good use of her deep rich voice and superb tim ing and control The best material on the album is slow and sexy ballads like Better Off Alone How Insensitive and Anyone Who Had Heart seem better suited to her style than the pop disco tunes like This Is My Life and You Never Done It Like That The best track on the album is passionate performance of Dont Cry For Me Argentina from the opera Evita Bassey explores every nuance of the slow majestic melody and haunting lyrics Bassey is an example of an enormously talented popular singer whos resisted the temp tation to rely solely on vocal technique If she wants to Bassey can soar and shout was well as anyone but The Magic Is You proves that shes learn ed to control her voice She can convey lyric by understating it just as well as by trying to pump too much emotion into it Thats sign of true maturity and promise of plenty of good music to come SG Shirley Bassey The Magic Is You United Artists Judy Collins Judy Collins toys with the listeners emotions on her new album Hard Times For Lovers Whats remarkable is the innocent manner in which she accomplishes it Whether dealing with such light fluff as Henry Gaffneys Happy End or the more sophisticated tunes by show composers Stephen Sondheim and Rodgers and Hart Collins performs with the same ef fortless simplicity that has kept her in contemporary musics hierarchy through almost two decades of recording The most hauntingly beautiful tune on the album is Randy Newmans composition Marie Collins performs the work with such bittersweet feeling that one is forced to overlook the fact that the love lyric is better suited to male vocalist Michael Lawson Judy Collins Hard Times For Lovers Elektra Beach Boys The good times are there on this delightful grabbag of pop music Not only is it the slickest Beach Boys product in years its also the best evidence to date of the veteran groups ver satility Just as the album graphics feature different painting by different artist for each of the 10 tunes the songs themselves are stylistically individual each crafted with the care of work of art in rock The opening Good Timin with the groups now standard harmonic structure is confirmation that what the listener is about to hear is indeed Beach Boys product Its almost as if the boys were intent on showing with the rest of the album just how far theyve come since the surfin sixties The cut Lady Lynda is woven around popular Bach cantata but the band doesnt try to mask the musics origin In fact Lady Lynda leads off with rich stringharpsichord passage that stays true to the classic highlight of the album and its first single is disco oriented tune titled Here Comes the Night Not to be confused with the Van Morrison hit of the 19605 that cut surely must be regarded as the Beach Boys own personal statement about todays disco trend Here Comes the Night is played with an obvious tongue in cheek ML Beach Boys LA Light Album Caribou Records best selling albums Van Halen Van Halen Parallel Lines Blondie Outlandos dAmour The Police Dire Straits Dire Straits Spirits Having Flown Bee Gees
